Suicide Notes

She read the frantic writing
and took in all the words.
As she analyzed and processed,
I couldn't help but
remember
when ironically,
her ex husband
read my own words
in my own journal
and tried to understand
why I wrote
those hateful things about myself
while I stood beside him
just like I stood beside her
reading the same hateful things
somebody else wrote about themselves.
